Who Should I Start? Colby Parkinson or Tommy Tremble

Seattle Seahawks free-agent tight end Colby Parkinson intends to sign a three-year, $22.5 million deal that includes $15.5 million guaranteed with the Los Angeles Rams, according to sources. Before playing at Stanford, Parkinson attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, Calif., which is right down the road from the Rams' training complex. Parkinson, the former fourth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2020, will stay in the NFC West and will get a shot to serve as the team's top pass-catching tight end, at least to start the 2024 season. It's unlikely that Tyler Higbee (knee) will be ready to go for the start of the season after tearing his ACL and MCL in the playoffs. In Seattle, the 25-year-old Parkinson never had more than 322 receiving yards or two touchdowns in a single season, so fantasy managers shouldn't suddenly expect him to become a TE1 in LA with Higbee sidelined.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught both of his targets for 11 yards in a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The third-year tight end's effort was good enough for third-most receiving yards on the team on a quiet afternoon for the offense. Tremble finishes his 2023 season with 23 catches for 194 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games. He will look to make a case to open the 2024 season as Carolina's No. 1 tight end this offseason.
